almost a preschooler...

Yesterday, Tyler, Kelsi and I had a day "at home". I have been so busy that I have needed to put them into Scribble Time a couple days a week...and this week we had 3 days of daycare! On our "home day", Kelsi had to be WOKEN UP at 10am (she has a UTI from her swimmy diaper they believe), so Tyler had a morning of being an "only child"....He plays so well and is so happy on his own! Just before lunch we decided to walk down to his preschool and play on the new playground. We made it a nature walk and collected pinecones, rocks and sticks...Kelsi was happy to just stay in her stroller, but Tyler was so happy to explore.

I CAN'T BELIEVE that he starts preschool in less than 2 weeks....It is so scary that he has gotten so big, so fast!! He is already learning so much at Scribble Time...He loves storytime, gym class, eating lunch with the kids, washing his hands after the bathroom trip, waiting in line and he EVEN is starting to write his name!! On the way home from this walk, I was talking to him about our street, and then he said that they learned about streets at Scribble Time...He even knew our street name! He SHOCKS me almost every time that he opens his mouth! He is always using a new phrase or saying or he is spitting out a fact that I would never thought that he would know...I already feel like a proud parent...I can't wait for pics with his backpack on the first day!!

"Can you see my eyes?" to get him to look...He thought he could through the lens!
He carried that marker all the way to the school and all the way home...nothing to write though!

Check out the shoes that he doesn't like tight...his other pair of shoes broke, but these are definitely not ideal!

This is the, "I am a preschooler" pose...It was what he came up with!

Such a thoughtful, imaginative and clever little guy! I could just kiss this picture...I love him so much!

Is this going to be a vision of what is to come on the playground? Sure hope not!! Tyler put himself in this time-out pose when I wanted to take another picture! So far, Tyler is very good at Scribble Time though!

My cute Kelsi...the only happy face on our trip, but SO totally her!

Our summer vacation pics to come...I haven't even loaded them in yet!!
